Theoretical Postulates of Historical-geographical Cognition Applicability
Monika Komušanac
Abstract
The former approach of the 2010 paper written by the same author (co-author) has observed and placed the basic identity of historical geography as the fundamental geography discipline (within the meaning of its secondary particularity), whilst this work aims to consider the appliance of the historical-geographical approach and epistemology in numerous planning and gnostically-analytical definitions of spatial laws and models. Doing honour in this way to the theoretical geography and history approaches, the methodological system is primary based on speculative (logical or philosophical) methods and is affirming the justifiability of historical-geographical analysis in objective reality comprehension in geographical space, with the research results justifying the meaning of historical geography in the scientific, educational and planning system. Taking into account the laws, conditionality and functional understanding and modelling within the two basic philosophical categories of space and time, historical geography and its cognitions form the crucial presumption of space-time conditionality understanding in future regional (spatial) units or complex planning.
